【句子翻譯嘗試與思考】
Beethoven』s habit of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him.
1. 這個句子的結構並不複雜，只是後置定語太長了，所以翻譯的時候，如果按照漢語習慣，翻譯成前置定語，就會頭重腳輕——「貝多芬的……的習慣」，我們把它處理成「貝多芬習慣於……」，這樣就舒服多了。
2. increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage 這兩個並列結構中，我們抓住兩個動名詞increasing和following，翻譯為：先以極強的力度增加音量，然後突然接續一個驟然舒緩的樂段。
3. 「...was only rarely used by composers before him. 」這是一個被動句，我們中文很少使用被動句，所以翻譯的時候把被動句變為主動句，比較符合漢語語言習慣。
4. 整理翻譯：貝多芬習慣於先以極強的力度增加音量，然後突然接續一個驟然舒緩的樂段，在他之前的作曲家們很少運用這種作曲方式。
